Tea party does not want to be a 3rd party, that is a recipe for fail! No, the conservative/libertarian & tea party must retake the republican party from the country club blue blood ruling class elites that are more concerned with their position of power than what their constituents want or what the constitution allows.

Your tea party has already been co-opted by the republicans and fox news. Why would News Corp (mouthpiece of the global ruling class) be covering and supporting something like this if they were a threat to anyone?

The best way to fight the opposition is to control it. Conservative "dissent" (which in this case is really just hard line rather than dissenting) has been channeled into an acceptable outlet that will pose no real threat in the long run.

not a plastic bag

I lived in Alaska for 10 years and the Murkowski name was Alaska politics, second only to the Steven name (RIP-Ted Stevens). Murkowski and Stevens for that matter were establishment ruling class republicans. That is a huge win for the TeaParty.

Again, assuming that A: It's your party and B: a two party system will ever bring about change. It's structure puts keeping the status quo as the number 1 priority. Hoping for such a system to bring about fundamental, beneficial change is like hoping your car will lift off and fly you out of rush hour traffic. It's not what it's designed to do.

I don't agree with your assessment of the tea party and Fox news covers it because it gets them ratings. They have an audience and they know how to provide unique content to retain those viewers.

Where do you think all this money for the tea "party" is coming from? The establishment has just come up with a convenient way to funnel all the unhappy conservatives into a single wing of the republican party. That way they can feel like they're making a change without actually affecting the system.

On notice of what, pray tell? That some peasants are upset? They don't care. The masses are fat and complacent. We are appeased by bread and circuses and thinking this tea party is nothing more than a circus is asinine and ignorant. They get a little bit of the spotlight so they think they're doing something when in reality nothing they say or do matters. The masses think they're a bunch of stupid rednecks, the "powers that be" don't give a flying fuck what they think, so what do they really have other than 15 minutes of fame, if not infamy, and being outcasted from the rest of society?
